Code of Conduct
Every TampArotic event runs on one idea: consent first, discretion always. This is the behavior we expect of every guest — asking and honoring “no,” protecting each other's privacy, and treating everyone with respect. It's what keeps the room safe and welcoming. All events are 21+.
01 Our values
TampArotic exists to create a pressure-free space where open-minded adults can socialize, make connections, and feel genuinely welcome. That only works when everyone shares a few commitments. This code applies to every guest, host, and staff member, at every event, from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave.
- Consent is live, specific, ongoing, and revocable — never assumed.
- Discretion is a shared duty: what happens here, and who you see, stays private.
- Curation is about safety and comfort, never about judging anyone's appearance.
- Everyone here is a vetted adult 21 or older who agreed to these same expectations.
02 Consent
Ask before you touch, wait for a clear and willing “yes,” and accept “no,” “not tonight,” or a change of mind instantly and graciously — no pressure, no sulking, no asking why. A gracious “no thank you” is completely normal and always allowed, in every direction.
Consent is never something a prior click, a ticket, or an earlier moment can grant on your behalf. It is given in person, for the specific thing, and it can be withdrawn at any time. We will never build or recognize a “consent granted” badge or token — consent lives between people, in the moment.
03Respect & discretion
- Respect everyone's boundaries and space. Don't crowd, follow, or pressure.
- Protect privacy fiercely: don't out other guests, gossip, or share who or what you saw — during or after the night.
- Phones and cameras stay away on the floor. Don't photograph or record anyone without their explicit consent — see our Photo Policy.
- Drink responsibly. Impairment undermines consent and the comfort of the room.
- Treat everyone with courtesy regardless of body, identity, background, or experience.
04What's not allowed
The following will not be tolerated and can end your night or your access:
- Any non-consensual touching, or continuing after a “no” or hesitation.
- Harassment, pressuring, stalking, or refusing to accept a graceful decline.
- Photographing, filming, or sharing other guests without explicit consent.
- Revealing another guest's identity, attendance, or private details.
- Excessive intoxication that endangers you or others' comfort and safety.
- Discrimination, hate, threats, or intimidation of any kind.
05Hosts & safety
You are never on your own. Identifiable hosts and staff are present at every event — approachable all night, keeping an eye on the room, and ready to step in. If you feel uneasy, a quiet word to any host is always welcome and always taken seriously. You don't need proof or a perfect explanation; “this doesn't feel right” is enough.
06 Reporting a concern
See something, or feel something? Tell us. During an event, find a host or any staff member. After an event, or to raise something privately, email tamparotic@gmail.com. Reports are handled discreetly and confidentially — speaking up never costs you your privacy, and we take every concern seriously.
07 Enforcement
Depending on what happens, responses may include a conversation, a warning, removal from the event, or a decision not to welcome someone back. We act to protect the safety and comfort of our guests, and we record what we need to handle a situation responsibly. We do not maintain a public accusation list; matters are handled with discretion and care for everyone involved.
This is a plain-language summary of how we expect everyone to treat one another. It isn't a contract, and it doesn't limit the steps we may take to keep events safe. Questions? We're glad to answer.
This is the room we keep.
If that sounds like your kind of crowd, you'll fit right in. Five minutes, total discretion, and you're on the list — RSVP, get vetted, and your ticket and venue details follow. 21+.
